Doc Doom's design in FF2 - Looks Damn Snazzy!

Published at:  Feb 08, 2007 8:12:40 PM CST

Hey folks, Harry here... Over at JoBlo they uncovered a selection of designs - mainly on SPIDER-MAN 3. Stuff that we've essentially seen in one variation or another... but they did uncover something that nobody anywhere has ever seen. And that's the design for Dr Doom in FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER.

I very much love the design of Doc Doom here... and so long as we never have to see that actor's face.... or anything having to do with his incarnation from the last film... I think it could be wonderful. I'm curious where the designs on him came from - as the first film kinda laid down the origin as him becoming bio-armored - not hand forged armor - but maybe... if we're lucky - they're just forgetting everything that happened in the last film - and just moving on - as though it never happened.

I have to say - so far - everything on FANTASTIC FOUR 2 has been looking damn good. Let's hope they got it right. Here's hoping Tim Story and Fox have gotten their collective shit together this time out!











See - Pretty Snazzy, eh?

    "That actor"

    by mattmanreturns

    That actor is Julian McMahon from Nip/Tuck, and if you've seen that show you know he's quite good. It wasn't his fault the characterization of Doom fell flat... it was the screenwriter's.

    "Snazzy" Yes... Doom..? NO!

    by enderthexenocide

    Old-world dictators should not look "snazzy", i.e., "extremely attractive or stylish; flashy; fancy: a snazzy dresser." Not even in today's world of looks vs. leadership.
    Doom is an old-world dictator, not a movie star. He should not look snazzy. He should look intimidating.
    If they think they can pull of an effective Doom with that concept in this movie, they need to go back to the books. I'd rather see Galactus in a big purple skirt than Doom in a green mini-skirt.

    by doctor_gonzo

    You are seriously deluded yourself if you think they will forget everything about the first. It made a LOT of money and that's what they care about. It will still be very similar in tone and style to the first one. Some aspects will probably be better, maybe even enough to bring it to 'mediocre' level. But you are seriously crazy if you think that they will change the formula much. Just setting yourself up for huge disappointment. The only reason I actually enjoyed the first movie was because I was expecting the absolute worst movie ever.

    by kevred

    Zzzzz. See, there's this thing about Doom. He's SCARY. He inspires FEAR. This... fine, so they're making him look like some Roman emperor, maybe in his vanity he's making an idealized statue-like shell to hide his real self, but...that's not Doc Doom. At the end of the day, the problem isn't that the movie makers are changing something sacred. It's that they think they know better than the original creators. They have to change things in order to feel like they're artistically valid. But does anyone in their right mind think that some Gen-X geek Hollywood designer knows better than JACK KING KIRBY? If they do, then why are they toiling in obscurity, making a movie of a forty-year-old JACK KING KIRBY story? Because... (deep breath) KIRBY KNOWS BEST! And this... (begin Horatio Caine voice) this, my friend... is hack work.

    it's almost as if he is about to say with his hand raised "In this hand I hold the Surfers Nads, do as I say Surf man or I shall crush thou manhood". He looks to fucking polished to be Doom. Doom has a choppy look about him. He is in the comics a horrid creature underneath that mask. They already fucked it all up by changing the whole goddman background of Doom to begin with in the 1st film. This to me only looks to be a step in the wrong direction. How can Harry be excited about this?

    Nothing about this movie excites me. The 1st one sucked. Bland hollywood garbage that had no lasting impression except how bad I wanted to peel my eyes from the screen and go home. Only The Thing was remotely close to being on target in that movie.

    I will pass on this sequel.

    As a guy who doesn't read comics, can someone explain to me why this is a bad design? I don't get it. I Googled a few images of comic book Doom and it looks almost exactly the same.

    Let's say he "looks" gay. Let's say he IS "gay". So. What. Is this your criticism? Is that good, or is that bad? Seriously. Can any of you morons explain why, without using the word gay in the explanation, this is a problem? Is it mutually exclusive with badass? With terrifying? With cool? With "ruler of Latveria"? It's much more interesting to wonder whether the chest-snakes mean Doom is somehow the ruler of Latveria in the movie and whether Latveria is depicted as a rogue state.

    strictly in the homoerotic sense. He doesn't look just like Doom in the comics who wore armor with a belted tunic over it. The obvious look here is one of it being his skin and he is shirtless with tatoos. What this has to do with Dr. Doom from the comics is beyond me.

    by lone fox

    If you're bitching about him wearing a 'skirt' then you've either grown up on the Ultimate titles, or never read an FF book in your life, therefore your opinion means nothing. With the exception of the dragon engraving, it's pretty faithful to the original costume in the comics. But then, the costume in the first movie wasn't too bad either. It's the script and origin rehash that let it down. But Torch stole the show. The film was more like an adaptation of the old cartoon FF than of the actual comic-books anyway.

    Wearing a skirt however does make Dr Doom into a transvestite, and I can't think of a single scary transvestite. Put a clown outfit on him instead!

Even though in the comics he wears armor, according to the first FF movie his body generated the metal that becomes his new skin--in other words, it ain't a suit.

    People who are offended

    by fecal debris

    by TBers saying Doom looks "gay" are being way hypersensitive, because I think what the TBers mean is that Doom does indeed look kinda homo-erotic. Not that looking homo-erotic is good or bad, but let's face it, he does look homo-erotic, and if being told that offends you, it's probably because you're gay or insecure or both, and because you're looking for malice or offensiveness where there wasn't any--like the morons who are saying Prince's super bowl show was risque and he emulated a phallus with his guitar. Let me tell you, I'm a big Prince fan, and I'm also a freakin' pervert, and--knowing Prince's flair for the erotic--I would be the first to pick up on any overt sexual innuendo, and I didn't catch any on my TV. Just a guy playing his guitar, very well too, I might add. Quit being so weak. If people are complaining that Doom looks "gay," they're complaining not because they think "gay" is bad, but because Doom ain't supposed to look "gay." He's supposed to look like a metal macho dude. Admittedly, the line between that and "gay" is thin...

    How would you have done it better. I think that we will see the doom we all know in the next FF films. Each story has a start. CGI is a realtively new way of doing things. as is perfromance capture. Computer technology is very slow and it isnt at the stage where you can make 100% cgi comic book film or a 100% performance capture comic film either. That would cost too much money for the studios to even consider that just at the moment. Keeeping costs down may make a movie look cheap, but studios especially fox of all people now that big budget spectacles are a dying breed. If all studios buried comic book movies for a while who will be the firs to complin. guess who....

    Doom out. It would probably be a much better film. It is almost purely an origin story - the problem was the lame idea that Doom needed to be incorporated into their origin to make him have a personal motivation against Reed. It would've been more interesting if Reed had just gone to school or worked with Doom and helped him create/develop technology that Doom later used to lead a coup and take over his country. Then Reed would feel guilty and want to stop Doom. He helped him develop the tech, so he knows how to exploit its weaknesses. See how easy? Practically writes itself if you've read the comics. Instead we got a bunch of convoluted mess that actually had the effect of: making Reed an unlikeable pushover, making Sue look like a shallow bimbo for dating Metrosexual Doom in the first place, and making Dr. Doom look like an unintelligent leach corporate wussbag.

    Julian McMahon Makes A Shitty Doctor Doom

    by barron34

    Sorry, but it is true. He was the worst thing about the first Fantastic Four movie, which would have been much, much better if they had gotten Doom right. McMahon might be good on Nip/Tuck, but he sucked in the FF movie. Doom is not a preening, annoying metrosexual. Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in all of comicbook history, and they really fucked the character up in that movie with bad casting, bad writing, and bad acting. Doom should be more like Darth Vader. (In fact, it is rumored that Vader was, in part, inspired by Doctor Doom) As far as this illustration of Doom goes, it is not great. There IS a difference between a skirt and a tunic, and if you can't see that, I do not know what to say. McMahon made Doom weak and unmanly enough. Why continue the trend into the second movie? Doom needed to be re-cast. As far as his look, his origins, and his demeanor, they really should stick as closely to the comic-books as possible. I hated the FF movie when I first saw it, mainly because Doom sucked so much. Only when I rented the video from my library (for free) and watched the movie a second time did I see that the four actors playing the FF did a decent job, and the movie would have actually been OK if Doom was not such shite. You would think that the filmmakers would try and improve the second film based upon criticisms of the first. As a fan, I am disinclined to see this second movie in the theatres, since the studio and the filmmakers seem to be taking fan opinion for granted, which is a mistake, in my opinion. Sure, the first movie made money, but this franchise would make even MORE money if they pleased not just general audiences, but rather BOTH general audiences AND fan audiences. Unless fan reaction for this film is very positive, I will probably wait for the movie to show up on DVD in my municipal library, where I can rent it for nothing. I am glad that superhero movies are getting made, but on principal I will try and avoid comicbook movies that seem to take comicbook fans for granted.
